If the condition is not treated, the pain associated with a sickle cell crisis can become more severe and prolonged, significantly affecting a person's quality of life. Reduced blood flow and oxygen supply to organs can result in damage to vital organs, including the spleen, liver, kidneys, and lungs. Individuals with sickle cell disease are more susceptible to infections, and a crisis can weaken the immune system, making them even more vulnerable to infections. In some cases, the blockage of blood vessels can lead to a stroke, which can cause lasting neurological damage.
